What's Happening at the George Howell Coffee Company
December 20th, 2007
Photo-report from George Howell’s recent visit to Kenya is now on the web |
|
|
I spent four days touring the great Kenya coffee areas, photographing on the fly as much of what I saw as possible. I visited Mamuto Farm, Kangocho Cooperative factory and the Kahindu Cooperative factory as well as a large coffee estate. I tried to make the photos as informative and connected as possible. Captions accompany each slide.
Kenya produces coffees of immense quality and distinction. The central high plain of Kenya is compared by some of us specialty roasters to the Bordeaux of the coffee world. Few other coffees have, in my opinion, the power and structure of the greatest Kenyas . Your comments are appreciated! Click here to check them out. |
Two Special Edition coffees for New Years! Panama’s La Esmeralda, full flavor roast, and El Salvador’s La Montaña, also full flavor roast to be roasted on Wednesday, December 26. |
|
La Esmeralda may be the Champagne of coffees; very bold sparkling peach-apricot flavors. The La Montaña is the perfectly balanced coffee. Great structure with notes of black tea and pecan very finely coated with honeyed dark chocolate. Click here to order.
|
New Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Konga Cooperative has arrived. It is organic, Fair Trade and delicious. This is the first shipment from Ethiopia to ever be vacuum sealed at origin. |
|
What a difference vacuum packaging at origin makes! Yirgacheffe fans will note the clearer sweet notes this Yirgacheffe has over our last lot, the Addis Ketema. It is as if we just had a spring cleaning. Delicate candy lemon and Darjeeling tea notes. This coffee pairs amazingly with dark chocolate, by the way! Each reinforces the other. Price: $12.95 per 12 ounces. Click here to purchase. |
